to me hero...

Growing u we all have heroes in our lives.  Some may be a famous person others may be a sports star, we may also have more than one.  I have tons of heroes who have touched my life in one way or another.  My grandpa Hitt is one of my heroes who have been there for me every day of my life!  He was there at the Preston hospital the day I was born, he was there at my dance performances, he was there to cheer me on when I cheered at high school games, he was there to escort me on Senior night at my last high school performance as a cheerleader, he was there on graduation day, and I know he will be there many other days of my lives to cheer me on the best that he can!  Things that I remember growing up with my grandpa as my hero…

He has almost served 30 years at the Malta highway district, and I remember as a kid and even 2 weeks ago riding in the road grader and the water truck with him and helping in any way that I can!   My grandpa always has what people call “Grandpa Tom” mints in his pocket.  He never fails to have one during church, on a road trip or at home for a little sugar boost for not only us grandkids, but all the little kids that come and give a hug whenever they see him.

My grandpa has been there for me in every way that he can for the past 19 years for me and I am more then grateful for that.  He has always been there for me.  I hope that one day my kids can look up to him like I have.  Grandpa Tom thank you so much for being my hero, my grandpa, and someone that plays a role as my dad! Love you so much!

To those who have made a difference

I have been so blessed to have so many dads touch my life in so different many ways.

Chris Rodgers~

Your family became my second family and you became my second dad! I was pretty close to you guys and could ask you so much! I don’t know what I would have done without you in my life over those years.  You gave me so many blessings and touched my life in different ways.   Thanks for all that you have done for me! Happy dad’s day!

Lavell Erickson~

I don’t know anybody that isn’t my dad who calls and checks on me at least once a month to make sure I’m doing okay and make sure I’m not in any trouble at all.  Some people would get sick of the phone calls but to me they help me so much!   I have gone through some difficult times and knowing that somehow you find out what happened through the grape vine and give me a call to let me know that it will all turn out and be okay means so much to me!  I am so thankful for everything.  Thanks for being my second dad lately! I sure do appreciate it! Happy dad’s day!

Bill Poulton~

I have only known you for a couple of months, but you have already inspired me!  I sure do look forward making the drive over the mountain to see you guys!  I have to say you make the BEST late night chocolate milkshakes in the world!  I sure do love your family and look forward to many more visits to come!  Thanks for raising such an AMAZING kid, I am so lucky I have found him and have him in my life,  He has made such a difference in my life and has helped me in so many ways!  Thanks so much for everything, and also the phone call on Saturday it made my day!  I sure hope you had a great father’s day!

Scott~

You are one of the best uncles any niece could ever ask for!  I know I don’t show it a lot but I am more then grateful for everything that you have done for me in my life!   Thanks for helping me whenever I need something done in a fatherly way.  I sure do love you!  Happy dads’ day!

Chad~

Not every uncle will let their niece come live with them so they are able to live their dream and go to college! But, hey you do!  And I don’t know if I will ever thank you enough!  Thanks do much for everything that you have done for me it means the world! Love ya!

Happy dads’ day!

John~

John and I have had our moments more than once.  We have fought and we have become close.  But I have to say john has been one of the best step-dads that I could ever ask for.  He would always send hours with me during school with all my math homework.  I remember when he was trying to teach me algebra in like 5^th grade, I had no idea what he was saying and wanted to quit and NEVER ask for help from him ever again, but yet I did.  He ws there for all my performances know matter if a cow was branding or the BIG game was on he was there.  He has always played a good father role and always makes sure that I have enough to get me through. Thanks for being there for me and being the best step-dad! Happy dads’ day!

I have no idea what I would have done with all of you guys in my life! You have all helped me believe in myself and help me come closer to making my dreams come true! Thank you all so much! I love you all!

the family that i love

For mother’s day all my aunt and uncles gave my grandma a gift certificate to get family pictures done of all 32 of us! Holy Coe! 32? Can it be done? After Trisha talking, pulling strings and loving all of us after the week was dine her friend from school took our family pictures! They turned out so AMAZING!  We had tons of laughs and made lots of memories.  I love my Hitt family and I really have no idea what we would do without each other!  

Here are only a few pics from my camera the real deal is tons better! thanks jenny!

Here is to the night!

Nate always does something for me, so for once I wanted to do something for him! Everything that I planned never worked out! So I planned the same old movie and dinner! We went to a Mexican restraint in Burley and it was really good then we loaded up met my family and went to see a movie together! It was the last date before Utah! Even though we do it all the time, the food was great and the movie was good!  Times like this are time worth living! Thanks Nate

Here is to the future!

I have finally moved to Utah! I never thought I would ever be moving to Utah in my lifetime, but even though I have been here for like four days I love it!  I get the opportunity to live with my aunt Traci and her family.  It’s a lot of fun! This summer we are involved in a lot of trevs baseball games and Taylor Soccer practices! They sure keep me on my toes and I love the kids!

Nate came up with me on Friday and stayed tell Sunday, we had a lot of fun! We got here late Friday night after Nate got off work. I thought I would never get here to tell you the truth.  Then on Saturday Tay, Zan, tobbi, Nate and I went To Jack and Jill’s and went laser tagging. I never been, but honestly it was a lot of fun and I may go again.  We laughed a lot and made some great memories! After jack and Jill’s we loaded up went home and crashed for a whole fifteen minutes then headed to the double sided baseball games to watch Trev! That kid may be small, but dang is he AMAZING at baseball! Watch out MLB here he comes! :)

Nate headed home on Sunday afternoon, and yes I was pretty sad.  The whole family had bets how hard I would cry.  I had a few tears but not much! I will see him this weekend so that is a plus, after Sunday the tears will role on in! I have to say I have no idea what I will do when I won’t be able to see Nate and his family at least once a week.  I sure do like the kid and he spoils me ROTTEN!  Nate has always been there for me especially when I need him the most! He sure does put a smile on my face and a laugh following! Loves<3  knowing that Nate is behind me 100% in this move and he will come visit me makes it that much easier! I have to say I am one lucky girl to find one heck of an AMAZING guy!

My mom drove up on Sunday and we went to visit Provo College on Tuesday.  After the tour I did finally decide to study my dental assisting there! I am so excited to start! I will be able to graduate next August and look forward to FINALLY being a dental assistant and fulfilling my long term dream! I have had so much support, and want to thank EVERYONE that has helped me through the years! Love you all!

The cowboy came to see me!

Tonight the cowboy came to see me!! Tonight Nate came over to see me since I haven’t seen him for a whole long week! (Yes I know what am I going to do when I move to Utah and he goes on his mission? Answer: Cry) Anyhow Nate came over to see me and took me out to dinner at Café Rio! One of my top five favorite places to eat.  I was very excited!   Then when we got back to the house he got his roping dummy out of his truck and him, Justin, tiff and tiff’s brother roped the dummy for awhile, while I took pictures.  I am not a roper at all so Tay and I watched and tried to take a few pictures before the sun went down!  It was just a great night to rope, and have fun as friends!  I keep telling Nate this but…. I sure do like him!! I have no idea what I would do without him. Especially now! He spoils me rotten and I sometimes feel bad!  I sure do love night like tonight where he just comes over takes me to dinner and we do crazy things like rope the dummy!  I never have a dull moment with Nate.  He is always making me laugh and always gets me to smile. I try to be mad at him for like 5 minutes, but I just can’t do it for the life of me!  The kid sure knows how to put one heck of a white priceless smile on my face!!!  Thanks Nate! Once again I sure do like you!

it's his game and it's his life

Ever since my brother could walk he had a passion for golf, it’s his game, and it’s his life.  .He had a club in his hand whenever he could. His clubs became his prize position in life. He got his first “REAL” set of clubs at the age of four, this is when his future started.   He would go to the course with our mom and dad whenever he got the chance.  He became better and better at each swing, birdie, par, bogie, and eagle.  Then he became so good that he started beating my mom and when he was lucky he would beat my dad!  My dad has taken him golfing when he was younger and still to this day.  My dad will help him improve as much as he can to improve his game in any way possible. 

In the summer my dad and Zach are usually golfing in tournaments when we aren’t farming.  They are pretty good golfers that they usually win some kind of prize.  (Some being a chicken statue, which is now our center piece at our dinner table)  Through the game of golf these two have become inseparable, and attached at the hip!

Last year Zach made it to state as a freshman and again this year as a sophomore!  No matter the weather, rain or snow he played with all his heart and did the best that he possibly could!  He had a few rough games but new that he did his best, and his best was what counted!  Zach is such a great golfer and he hopes to continue his game and take it all the way to college.

Zach~ CONGRATS!! On making it to state this year and getting 9^th!! We are so proud of you!  I sure do look up to you and am pretty jealous that I can’t play a game of golf like you let alone hit the ball off the tea!  Thanks for everything that you have done for me throughout my life!! I have no idea what I would do without you!  Thanks for being the great example that you are!

 Love, Kallie
